I Can without a doubt say that
after many years producing work in a variety of medium, i feel that without my being fully aware of it, i grew up registering dream like images in my mind during my childhood years. Images that many years later would emerge as oil paintings to help me to ease my pain of separation from the very dear surroundings and people that I loved in cuba.
Later on, as the years went by, awards like the cintas fellowship award, and the new jersey state council on the arts award, and others, as well as those institutions and persons that have acquired some of my work, have inmensely estimulated me and, i hope that in a small but somehow significani way to be able to contribute to the preservation of our beautiful cuban cultural heritage. |
